letter_to_sount_point
The lyrical speaker of this poem expresses a call to the readers to continually rediscover themselves on the journey of life.
Additionally, depending on how it is read, the poem reveals other words or word combinations and can be interpreted individually. Words like ach or hund or sucht or du und ich or gedicht catch the eye. 😉
six algorithms for the kandinsky colors YELLOW BLUE GREEN RED ORANGE and VIOLET transforms the poem _anas_meer ( AN AS ME ER / LI EB TD UE / DR EI EI NS / ZW EI DR EI ) into the corresponding line patterns.
each algorithm takes the 16 pairs of letters of the poem _anas_meer as INPUt and generates 16 lines in the colors YELLOW BLUE GREEN RED ORANGE and VIOLET as OUTPUT. the PROCESSING is done by coloring each pair of letters XY to a line from X to Y in a certain frame.

Selected Poems
poem _a_grain_of_truth
in mathematical logic truth is bivalent. it only knows the two values 1 for true and 0 for false.
the fuzzy logic is multivalent and besides 0 an 1 it uses all values between 0 and 1. instead of a black and white landscape the truth is captured with shades of gray.
in other words: every Thing ( ) istrueto ( ) a cerTAIn ( ) DEgree
